Fitter Models' SE5a from ecardmodels.com
Hey gang, I am rather new to building planes out of cardstock but I am taking on the challenge of Fitter Models SE5a.
I got the first half the fuselage done for my 1/33 Fitter's models SE5A that I got off of ecardmodels.com. It was $7 to download so if you mess up you can just reprint the parts. I printed some of the sheets on cardstock and glued them with Elmer's white glue on to 1/32 balsa. I initially glued them to 1/16 but that was too much. I wonder what kind of effect I'd get gluing them to cardboard. Everyone has cardboard that they discard but I sorta like the sheet cardboard you can purchase to ship photos and other things which must remain flat. The kit is coming along pretty good so far but I just got started. I plan to keep notes on what is wrong with it and what is good about it and pass them along to Fitters. Hopefully I won't ruffle any feathers in the process.
